Parents Rights Bill H1050 before the Education Committee on Thursday, Oct. 27

The strengthened Parental Notification & Consent Law

October 15, 2005

This updates the flawed law passed in 1996. The gay lobby and Planned Parenthood know that this will stop the homosexual agenda in the public schools by giving parents the power, and not the gay activists. Parents would no longer have to struggle to "opt-out" their kids (if they can), but choose to "opt-in". Last year the homosexual lobby fought us bitterly. This year we'll win!
